Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

When Jia Mu heard that the auspicious time had come, she couldn't sit still immediately, she stood up immediately, took Mrs. Wang's hand, and said excitedly:

"Okay, let's go out to meet the empress right now, don't miss the auspicious time, let's all go together!"

Mother Jia was so excited that she was a little unsteady when she walked. Fortunately, Yuanyang stepped forward to hold her hand with a wink. Mother Jia walked out first with a cane in one hand and Yuanyang in the other.

Li Mo and Mrs. Wang followed closely behind Jiamu, holding the hand of their maidservant, and walked out together according to their seniority.

Before going out the door, they heard the loud sound of firecrackers coming from somewhere. Everyone stopped involuntarily, and stood there with smiles on their faces, waiting for the firecrackers to finish.

Jia Zhen, Jia She and Jia Zheng were already standing in front, followed by the next generation of males from the Jia family, as well as some old and respected members of the Jia family who lived behind the Jia mansion.

After the firecrackers were played, everyone lined up in male and female order, and stood quietly at the door to wait for Jia Yuanchun's arrival.

It's a pity that the result is the same as that written in the original book. Everyone waited and waited but they didn't see Jia Yuanchun's frame. They couldn't help asking people to find out when the empress would be able to come out of the palace.

It's just that the answer you get is not ideal. You have no choice but to continue to wait!

Around the team were also some common people who were waiting to watch the fun. Seeing that the carriage of the empress hadn't arrived at this time, they couldn't help talking about it.

Of course, they were all whispering, carefully biting their ears with the people around them, and they didn't dare to offend the Jia family and the empress who was about to come back to visit relatives face to face. If they were punished for a crime of disrespect, it would be no fun.

But even so, people in Jia's mansion couldn't bear to stare at the strange eyes of the people around them!I'm busy asking people to inquire again, and I will report back as soon as I get the news.

Everyone has been standing at the door for more than an hour - from Yinshi (5 o'clock in the morning) to Maoshi (7 o'clock in the morning), but there is still no arrival of the frame.

Some of the people around couldn't help but go back to finish their breakfast and continue their busy day's work. They planned to come out to watch when the concubine's family visit team was about to arrive.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people around, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang have been standing for a long time, and the atmosphere is very serious, but their figures are a little shaken, and even with thick makeup, they can't hide their faces Pale face.

He was obviously tired. Although he had been standing for an hour, Li Mo didn't feel any discomfort except his feet were a little sore. He couldn't help gloating when he saw that everyone in Jia's house couldn't bear it.

Li Mo didn't have to worry about Heng An and Jia Zong being tired, because as early as half an hour ago, when they found out that the carriage for the mother-in-law hadn't arrived, Jia Mu and the others couldn't bear seeing the children.

Of course the others didn't hold much weight in their hearts, but there was Jia Baoyu in the middle, Jia Baoyu had always been pampered, standing for half an hour was already the limit, how could he stand it any longer!

Don't Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang feel sorry for him?We can only let people take Jia Baoyu Hengan and the others to rest in the house first, and call them out when the carriage of the empress is almost here.

It makes sense for the children to go back to rest first, but Jiamu, Mrs. Li Mowang, and Jia She, Jia Zheng, as adults, can't immediately go to rest like Jia Baoyu and the others. The door is waiting.

Haven't waited for more than an hour now!

Li Mo took a look. Not only Mrs. Jia Muwang and the others couldn't bear it anymore, but Jia Zhen, Jia She and Jia Zheng were also very tired. They waited for another quarter of an hour and went to inquire about the news. People have not heard back yet.

Mother Jia had no choice but to send someone over to discuss with Jia Zhenjia Amnesty and the others. There is no way to continue waiting like this, so let's go back to the house and wait for the news first!

When the empress's frame is out of the palace, everyone just wait outside the door. I don't know how long we will have to wait now!

Of course, Jia Zhenjia She and the others had no objection, they brought their people back to the main hall of the house and waited for the news. Of course, the female relatives must be separated from them.

Li Mo followed Jiamu and the others back to the house, found a seat to sit, and waited for people to serve the tea and fruit, then quietly sipped tea and waited.

Seeing everyone's exhausted looks, Li Mo couldn't be alone to show his energy. He also turned the tea cover with his hands tiredly, and sat there silently with his eyes down.

When it was noon, seeing that the empress hadn't come yet, the palace didn't give a clear message, but just asked everyone to wait patiently, waiting for everyone to have a hasty lunch together, get back to their seats, and continued to wait.

To be honest, wearing such a heavy dress and those hairpin rings on the head is really heavy, even if it is sitting, it still makes people feel uncomfortable.

After waiting for a few more hours, when Shen Shi (around 17:[-] p.m.) came, everyone was waiting really anxiously. Lai Da's son finally hurried back with two people to report to Jia Mu, saying that he had heard the news.

Hearing the news from the palace, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang hurried out of the house and told Lai Da's son to talk about it quickly. Maybe Lai Da's son knelt in the yard and kicked After a few breaths, when Jia Mu and the others stared at him, they said:

"At the beginning of You (17 o'clock in the afternoon) enter the Daming Palace to receive a banquet and look at the lanterns to ask for orders. I am afraid that I will get up at the beginning of Xu (19 o'clock in the afternoon)!"

After waiting for so long, everyone finally waited for the exact time for a lady's carriage to come back. Mother Jia couldn't help but said happily:

"Okay, reward! Why don't you come back from Lai Da?"

Lai Da's son knelt there and respectfully took the purse handed over by the little maid, and the money was slowly stuffed into it. Hearing Jia's mother's question, he continued to respectfully say:

"Father is still in the palace to continue to inquire about the news. I am afraid that you, the ancestors, will wait impatiently. As soon as you get accurate information, I will ask the servant to come back and report the news to you first."

Now that the exact time of the empress's return has been obtained, Mother Jia and the others are not in a hurry to have dinner. They want to wait for the empress to come back and have dinner together so that they can get closer. Fearing that everyone will be hungry, let everyone use some snack mats first. pad stomach.

Before the time came to Xu (19 o'clock in the afternoon), everyone in Jia's house stood at the door again with solemn expressions, quietly waiting for Jia Yuanchun's arrival.

At this time, it was already dark, and lanterns and candles had been lit everywhere in Jia's Mansion and the Provincial Courtyard, illuminating Zhou Zhou with bright lights, which shows that everyone attaches great importance to this family visit.

At the beginning of Xu (19 o'clock in the afternoon), I finally heard that Jia Yuanchun had come out of the palace in a sedan chair with eight people carrying an embroidered Fengluan, and was heading for Rongguo Mansion!

Hearing this news, everyone couldn't help checking whether there was any problem with the clothes on their bodies, tidied them up, and wanted to meet the empress with the best spirit.

Standing there, Li Mo could only hear the sound of officers and soldiers clearing the road with whips in the distance, and then the people around who were going to watch the excitement retreated to the side of the road.

From a distance, a line of eunuchs and maids playing musical instruments came here with a guard of honor, and they all stood still on both sides of the road. Only then did the crowd see Yuan Chun sitting in eight people carrying a embroidered sedan chair, surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs. In front of everyone.

Jia Yuanchun didn't get out of the sedan chair at this time, after everyone in Jia's mansion greeted her, he walked around the garden, and saw the magnificent carved beams and painted buildings in the garden, beautiful trees, carnations, and bamboo forests, and all kinds of silk flowers hanging on the trees. .....

Jia Yuanchun saw how extravagantly decorated the Provincial House was, and thought of the current predicament of the Rongguo Mansion, he just sighed and said, "It's too extravagant and wasteful".

He went directly to the main hall. After Jia Yuanchun sat down, he met Jia Mu, Mrs. Li Mowang and other female relatives, and couldn't help crying. After being relatively silent, after chatting for a while, it was announced that Jia Zhenjia was pardoned. Jia Zheng and the others came in.

Let alone talk about their intimacy, when the banquet is ready, Jia Mu and the others invite the empress to sit down. While eating, they let Sanchun Jia Baoyu and the others recite poems against each other. Even Xue Baochai came with everyone.

After Jia Baoyu and the others finished their poems, they would give Jia Yuanchun a taste. There would be different rewards for everyone, which immediately made Jia Baoyu and the others even happier.

......

There is no such thing as Li Mo, and Jia Yuanchun only wants to get close to Jia Mu and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, who have been teaching her all the time. Li Mo is just going through the motions here, doing superficial kung fu.

Soon after three or four hours, seeing that it was almost time for Jia Yuanchun to return to the palace, everyone felt a little reluctant to say goodbye!

Wait for the deacon and eunuch to say: "It's already three quarters (from 01:03 to [-]:[-] in the morning), please drive back to Luan!"

Jia Yuanchun heard the voice of the deacon and eunuch urging him to go back to the palace. Although he was very reluctant, he could only bid farewell to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang with tears, and asked Jia Mu and the others to take care of their health. Such a luxury wasted.

Seeing Jia Yuanchun leave with a sad expression, everyone in Jia's mansion respectfully escorted the frame of honor and left until there was no sign of him.
